Coffee With Jim

What happens when two renowned storytellers get together for a morning visit?

Bob Boze Bell, is a prolific artist, author, and the owner of True West Magazine. And he is a colorful storyteller that brings the western frontier to life. Since 1990 author, historian, and humorist Jim Hinckley has been sharing America's story, and telling people where to go with Jim Hinckley's America. 

On today's episode of Coffee With Jim, it's a free ranging conversation about the romanticism of the southwest, formative years spent on Route 66 in the era of I Like Ike Buttons and tailfins, childhood in Kingman, Arizona, and the adventure of life. 

Today's program is sponsored in part by Visit Tutcumcari - visittucumcarinm.com. Old billboards along Route 66 read - Tucumcari Tonight. With gems such as the Roadrunner Lodge Motel, this dusty old desert crossroads is an oasis for the weary traveler. And with gems such as the Odeon Theater and Mesalands Community College Dinosaur Museum, it is also a destination. 

On today's program an illustrated lesson about learning to roll with the punches and making lemonade when all you have is lemons. Stephanie Stuckey was NOT our guest this morning. So, we made the best of a bad situation, and with help from our guests, had a wonderful Sunday morning program. 

Maggie May from East Lansing Michigan joined in and talked about the R.E. Olds Museum. Beth Hilburn of the Hi Way Cafe chimed in an we talked classic roadside diners and cafes. And, of course, once we got past the first few rocky moments, we talked road trips. 

Coffee With Jim is live. It is is interactive. It is full of surprises. And it is always fun, thanks to our audience that helps me tell people where to go.
